An indictment showed that Dwyer was charged with felony aggravated assault and eight misdemeanors, including assault, criminal damage and disorderly conduct.

The charges stem from two incidents at Dwyer's Phoenix apartment in July.

Dwyer was booked on Sept. 17 after investigators said he headbutted his wife during an argument, then punched her and threw a shoe at his 17-month-old son the next day.

The formal charges do not indict him for any crimes related to the child.

The Cardinals placed Dwyer on the reserve/non-football illness list the day after his booking. They will continue to pay him and are reportedly evaluating his mental health after there were suicide mentions in the police report.
